EDITOR JOURNAL -
1t gives person who
IS deeply interested in the education of
encouragement given by the JOURNAL
in employing young lady as one OF the
type settlers or comp0sitors.
1t is quite common nowadays Tor Ia
dies to study the printers art and very
satisfactorily do they fill the positions,
and, to do the work well, secures them
lucrative position.
A practical education or mastery OF a
trade is helpful to girls as well as boys.
In many cities 1t is agitated for all
schools that an education in the indus
trial arts be given the children, so great
is the necessity TO teach people to help
themselves to be independent. A good
education is to be sought after and
priced. True culture and refinement
of mind and spirit should he implanted
by teachers and parents.
This valley having three newspapers
will be walked up and interested in the
news and happenings OF the day. a
good newspaper is an educator in a
family. Perncious literature is to be
despised and rejected, it poisons and
contaminates all who touch it. And
degenerates the moral tone OF all who
read such trash.
The home is the bulwark of society
the foundation of this government, and
it should be the citadel of purity. The
christian homes are the hope OF this ma
tion and keep it from being shattered
and torn to pieces. Any influences
that hurt individuals or the homes are
to I've deprecated. Whatever puriiies
the State will protect the home.
And to hold up high standard OF
morality, chastity and education is the
duty of newspaper and this the
journal" seeks to do. May it go on its
way rejoicing.
